Fear vs Obedience

What is the most difficult thing that God could be asking you to do today that you feel you cannot do or don't want to do? If you just thought of something, then this just may be an indication that God wants you to do that very thing.  The Lord has a long established pattern of asking those who follow Him to do what they feel they can't do, go through or don't want to do!

"Not him, Lord that's impossible".  He can never become a Christian!  He is Saul, everyone knows that he is a persecutor of the church (Acts 9:9-16)… This was Ananias' response when the Lord asked him to meet up with Saul and bring His news of salvation and plans for him.

SOWING AND REAPING PRINCIPLE

A friend shared this story she had come across and now I would like to share it with my viewers...  My Prayer is that this heart felt story will reap a harvest of blessings upon those that read it.

SOWING AND REAPING

Galatians 6:8-9 "For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap  corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."

A young man who had been raised as an atheist was training to be an Olympic diver. The only religious influence in his life came from his outspoken Christian friend. The young diver never really paid much attention to his friend's sermons, but he heard them often.

One night the diver went to the indoor pool at the college he attended. The lights were all off, but as the pool had big skylights and the moon was bright, there was plenty of light to practice by. The young man climbed up to the highest diving board.

As he turned his back to the pool, on the edge of the board and extended his arms out, he saw his shadow on the wall. The shadow of his body was in the shape of a cross. Suddenly, he felt a strange feeling, like someone was speaking to him. Instead of diving, he knelt down and finally asked God to come into his life.

As the young man stood in deep reverence before the Lord, a maintenance man walked in and turned on the lights. The pool had been drained for repairs.

Mmmm. Sometimes we get frustrated. It seems like our words are falling on deaf ears and that our loved ones will never see the truth. But we never know how God is working in those for whom we've been praying. He often has a plan we know nothing about!
Let's not be discouraged when we don't see the fruit right away. God knows the day and the hour and He will be faithful to follow through. Keep praying. Keep sharing. Keep sowing the seed! There's so much work to be done!

IS THERE GRASS ON YOUR PATH?

Psalms 62:8 "Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah."

Early African believers were earnest and regular in private devotions. Each one reportedly had a separate spot in the thicket where he would pour out his heart to God. Over time, the paths to these places became well worn. As a result, if one of these believers began to neglect prayer, it was soon apparent to the others. They would kindly remind the negligent one, "Brother, the grass grows on your path."

Prayer is a time when we can be completely intimate with the Lord -- we can share all our burdens, heartaches, situations and life struggles... but sometimes we need to get away into the thicket, alone, and be intimate with Him! The Lord loves to be intimate with us! He doesn't want a superficial relationship of recited prayers -- but a deep relationship with Him -- the One who loves us with a love that is everlasting!
If grass has begun to grow on your path, take some time out and find your way to that spot in the thicket today. God awaits you!

To Be Preeminent or Not To Be -

The Hypostatic Union Of Christ

"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.  "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form", Col.2:9

Walk on Christian Soldier!

THE FAITH WALKER

"But I say, walk (ing") by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk (ing) in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called", Gal 5:16, Ehp 4:1

Walk or more literally walking by the Spirit is the safeguard of the believers life in Christ. It is a moment by moment dependence upon the Holy Spirit to help us keep our feet on stable ground.

THE THEORETICAL THREAD

A Blast Through Time-

Imagine a thread of string passing through time and collecting bits of information that all somehow connect.  Now try and imagine this same string had the ability to grab onto the future and work its way back into the past while collecting information that would bring light to the present-

TOOLS THAT REAP REWARDS

"Use Your Tools and Reap a Garden of Knowledge"

  Are you using a trowel, a shovel or a backhoe?

The most important thing a believer can do to protect their walk with the Lord is to be a Berean
They are mentioned in Acts 17:11, as a noble-minded bunch of eager believers who searched the Scriptures daily, because they wanted to be sure Paul and Silas were accurate in their teaching.  These believers wanted to be sure for themselves that Paul and Silas' teachings were coming from the word of God and not just some fancy preaching.
